4 years agoCopying account icons in version 8?
In 1Password7 you could edit an account, select the account icon, press CtrlC to copy, then go to another account, select edit, then the icon and CtrlV to paste the same icon before pressing save - Version 8 you cannot do this anymore! Why? How? This is another element that has stopped me using Version 8 and reverting to version 7.
1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Mac OS 12.5.1
Browser:_ Safari

Just chiming in that I really miss this feature as well. Having to manually find the favico for a site, download it, edit the item in 1P, click the dropdown, and hunt for the filename is just so slow compared to just being able to ⌘C ⌘V in 1P 7.

Yep, they are two different folks. Sorry if that confused you. As 1P_Dave mentioned we file all feedback with the team where it is curated and considered for potential inclusion in the future.
As for myself, I for one hope this is something we can bring back. It sure would have made my life a little easier this weekend as I added custom icons to a lot of my Secure Notes.

Looks like this is yet another tradeoff of the "new" 1Password. I get that you have to follow Apple's lead toward an ecosystem that blends the operating systems (MacOS and iOS) thus requiring the move to an entirely different programming language. I think most people would also realize this is a monumental task to essentially start from scratch. And that, along the way, lots of value judgements must be made. Including abandonment of certain features thought to be secondary or perhaps unessential.
I think it's great that you're interacting directly with the user community and I wish more business leaders would pay closer attention to feedback from their customers. My concern is that your responses merely indicate you are letting the product team know about this feedback. I would have thought as the founder of Anglebits, any employee, including members of a product team, ultimately report to you. I'm now wondering if you've outsourced the development thus limiting your ability to commit to delivering on a request. Or at least offering a response more definitive than merely passing on information.

I don't have any updates to share, I've let the Product team know that you'd also like to see this feature added to 1Password 8 in the future.
I posted a workaround earlier in the thread here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/687593/#Comment_687593
Thank you for the feedback! 🙂

Thank you for the feedback! Here are the options that are currently available when you click on a misspelled word in 1Password 8:
I've let the team know that you'd also like to see the ability to copy and paste custom icons across different items return to 1Password for Mac. 🙂

I'm still using 1P7 for this and other reasons. The look and behaviour of the UI for another. Am I able to select text and use Apple's built in Transformations, Substitutions, Speech and Apple's Spell Checking and Grammar system (with my own dictionaries) yet when you right-click on the text yet?But what is so hard about clicking on an image and cmd-c copying it? Like this has been a feature of Apple's Finder for icons since, what? System 5? What's so difficult that we can't do this now in 2023?

Thank you for following up. I don't have anything new to announce right now.
If you're regularly needing to create new Bank Account items and then having to replace the default icon then, as a workaround for now, I suggest that you create and save an empty "Bank Account" item that doesn't contain any information but that does include the icon that you wish to use. This empty item can be used as a template and then, when you need to create a new Bank Account item, you can duplicate the template and have a new item with the icon that you prefer. This would save you from having to edit the icon each time.
I hope that helps!

Are we any closer to being able to copy and paste icons in V8 as we could in V7? This is still a very frustrating and time consuming issue. As mentioned back in 2022, icons with $ cannot be changed easily to £ or €. Still having to run V7 for editing icons???
